Raves for SMX Events

SMX Advanced is consistently one of the highest caliber marketing conferences. I never fail to leave with more actionable take-aways than time to implement. Worth its weight in gold!

Kristy Bolsinger - PwC

SMX East was a strategically, well planned conference that provided a wealth of information from the novice to the expert SEO enthusiast. It was a refreshing experience to attend a conference and leave with innumerable tools and information that I could use when I got back to work.

LaTishia Lyles-Grifols - Biomat USA

SMX was an extraordinary experience. Excellent speakers, well managed, and entertaining. I met some very interesting people, made a new friend or two, and took away knowledge that I did not have before. I am an experienced SEO so learning something completely new and actionable is not usually expected but I was able to do just that at SMX West!

David Peters - Net Point Marketing LLC

SMX easily paid for itself within the first day based off the knowledge attained in the first few sessions alone. It offers great insight into internet marketing and a unique opportunity to network with influencers throughout the industry. I highly recommend it and will definitely be attending again.

Mike Wilton - Plastic Surgery Studios

SMX West is hands down one of the best conferences for SEO and SEM managers due to the breadth of topics covered and excellent speakers talking about what's happening *RIGHT NOW*. What really helps me justify attending this conference is the networking opportunities with the speakers and attendees. Each year I go to the conference with questions and I'll meet multiple individuals who can help answer my question as well as provide a fresh perspective so that I can solve the issues at hand and have new tactics and ideas to take into my next fiscal year planning sessions.

Christi Olson - Harry & David

I've been doing SEO for almost seven years now, six of which were spent at an Inc. 500 SEO agency. In my time, I've worked with HUNDREDS of websites of different natures, such as lead generation, local, international, e-commerce, etc...I have had the luxury of testing out many different SEO strategies and software, and even still, I learned so much at the SMX West conference I attended. The presentations were strategy focused and actionable, the presenters were receptive to answering technical questions I had, and the networking experience was truly one of a kind. This was truly a first time experience for the record books and I look forward to attending many more in the future.

Allison Chaney - Bare Knuckle Marketing, Inc.

This was by far the best conference I have ever attended. My team has gained learning from SMX that will make us and many other companies millions in the coming years.

I found the speakers and their content to be both relevant and informative. I really enjoyed this conference and felt I learned a lot that I am able to use in my day–to–day work.

Overall, an excellent experience. Well done to the team! I am certainly planning on returning next year.

This was my first time attending SMX. I thought it was a great way to meet new people with the same interests and listen to amazing keynote speakers. I look forward to next year. I'M HOOKED!

Chris Rosser - Moneytree, Inc.

David Reynolds - Reed Business Information

Alan Bleiweiss - Search Marketing Wisdom

SMX Advanced is "the" conference of the year I suggest when I am asked the question: "What is the one conference you recommend I go to?" and I am ALWAYS asked the question. The networking opportunities, quality of speakers and information given is second to none.

Matt Siltala - Dream Systems Media

I wish I had a clone with me. So much great content, speakers, and topics. I must say that the best information gained was during the networking events though; the contacts and conversations have been priceless.

Andrew Brewster - BV Consulting

Great conference. I would definitely attend again. There were several instances where I had a very tough time deciding which session to go to.

Jack Ogilvie - Radiant Systems

I left SMX feeling refreshed, for lack of a better term. Not refreshed physically, because I was pretty exhausted, but refreshed in terms of my attitude towards SEO. I felt much more engaged with the SEO community as a whole, and all of the things that are currently going on in the world of search. I definitely look forward to attending another conference like this, and would encourage you to do the same if possible.

John Vantine - Wpromote

This was by far the best conference I have been to. I enjoyed not having to go through the basics of SEO and Social Media. It allowed for a lot more in–depth learning and even threw some things out that I had to look up!

Ellen Wright - LA–CO Industries, Inc

SMX Advanced was extremely organized, held in a great venue and was jam packed with valuable takeaways and networking opportunities for seasoned SEOs!

Nate Kinet - iAcuite

SMX East in New York City was a fantastic event! I only wish I could have cloned myself so I could have gone to multiple sessions at the same time.

Definitely a "can't miss" conference for anyone who wants to stay on top of the industry.

Steve Sasman - Sycara.com

Thanks so much! It was a fantastic experience -- wish I was still there!

Leslie Jones - White | Thompson

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at SMX East. The sessions were insightful, cutting edge, and I definitely left with plenty of tactics I can apply to the search engine marketing campaigns I currently manage. The networking was also phenomenal. Between pre event networking on SMX connect, and all of the networking focused events at the conference, I was able to connect with dozens of other Internet marketers.

There was also ample networking time, which allowed for the ability to share strategies and connect with other attendees.

Jessica Fielding - Social Media Strategist

Leaving SMX felt like leaving summer camp! What a warm, friendly environment to forge connections with a great group of smart marketers. Many social media conferences provide abstract ideas about community and engagement, but it's rare to find one that offers as much actionable data and strategy as SMX.

Courtney Seiter - Raven Internet Marketing Tools

The SMX Social Media Marketing event was great. Packed full of awesome information, great presenters, incredible attendees and killer networking. If you have an opportunity to attend a future SMX event, do it!

Mike Wilton - Plastic Surgery Studios

SMX West gets better each year. It's become a "must–attend" event for networking and getting the latest actionable insights from speakers and peers.

Dana Lookadoo - Yo! Yo! SEO

As usual, SMX didn't disappoint. Great speakers, great session topics, and great people. And I even met a few exhibiting vendors that I'd never heard of before and may begin doing business with, which is was an added bonus! I definitely plan on continuing to attend SMX events in the future.

Hugo Guzman - HSN

The level of new information was great. I was challenged with advanced techniques and tips, and learned something new in each session. The connections I made were very valuable as well, as I'm able to collaborate with other experts on future projects. And the opportunity to meet and have lunch with a variety of experts was priceless as well.

Allison Kulage - Bare Knuckle Marketing

SMX West was an extraordinary experience. Excellent speakers, well managed, and entertaining. I met some very interesting people, made a new friend or two, and took away knowledge that I did not have before. I am an experienced SEO so learning something completely new and actionable is not usually expected but I was able to do just that at SMX West!

David Peters - Net Point Marketing LLC

SMX Advanced is consistently one of the highest caliber marketing conferences. I never fail to leave with more actionable take–aways than time to implement. Worth its weight in gold!

Kristy Bolsinger - Ant's Eye View

I love attending SMX Advanced. The speakers and sessions always leave me with great ideas and invaluable takeaways to bring home. On top of that, the networking opportunities are priceless.

Kiko Correa - Mindbody, Inc.

SMX Advanced is the most informative and accessible search marketing event I've attended... ever. Danny and team put on an awesome event at a great venue that the SEO community has come to rely on every year. Everything from the speakers to the networking opportunities is top notch.. even the food!

Andrew Lipstein - Thomson Reuters

SMX Advanced is what conferences should be. My goal for conferences is to leave every session with at least two "must do" actions, and SMX Advanced doesn't disappoint. Sessions were both informative and actionable. And the bright, like–minded people you'll meet at SMX Advanced take the experience from just a conference to an amazing networking event. There's nearly as much to learn in the evenings as there is during the sessions.

Rachael Gerson - SEER Interactive

SMX East was massive value for my money. The staggering list of qualified presenters I was exposed to and got to chat with was without compare. This really was "friends in low places", and by that I mean the the folks presenting were living right at the point of intersect of content, social and search, and it showed. In fact, I think the 90+ presentation decks I have access to from the event alone are worth more to me than the price of the event. Any marketer or services⁄content supplier in the space who missed SMX blew it. Plus the event staff were friendly and helpful and the food at SMX was by far the best I've had at a conference. Attending SMX is a no–brainer indeed. I'll be back.

Greg MacDonald - Carleton University

SMX East is on my must–attend conference list! It's a great event with great speakers in a great city. There's always so much to do and learn and the session agenda leaves even the most advanced marketers choosing which ones they want to attend.

Ryan Jones - SapientNitro

This was my first SMX conference. I was so grateful for the opportunity to be there. I learned so much, met some fascinating and highly accomplished people, and generally had an amazing time. Thank you so much! Can't wait until the next one!

Kristin McGowan - CloudClicks

With the search engine optimization world and social media marketing disciplines overlapping in influence and strategies, the SMX Social Media conference was a natural fit for me and my agency.

I particularly appreciated the insights into upcoming social channels and tools.

Joel Solomon - RIESTER

Going to SMX Social Media Marketing was a great opportunity to meet and collaborate with people in my industry from all over the world. The conference was extremely informational and fun, I learned a lot to help my business with more social media! I will definitely be attending again.

Alecsy Christensen - Marketing Gypsy

Of the many shows I've been to over the years, I found that SMX West was probably the best–planned and best–run show I've attended. Registration was handled smoothly by professional and friendly staff members. The tracks were not only planned out well in terms of timing and variety, but the team made sure that speakers started on time and ended on time, and provided ample time between sessions for interpersonal conversations and relationship development. The vendor floor was a perfect size (not too many exhibitors, and not too few), and we had ample time to walk around and get to know the exhibiting companies and their products⁄services without feeling rushed to make another speaking track. The food provided was good, and the After Dark event was a great time to continue getting to know new friends and colleagues. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the professionalism, attention to details, approachability and friendliness of everyone who was part of the SMX organizing team, and am looking forward to my next SMX event!

Tom Hobbs - Myers Media Group

SMX West is hands down one of the best conferences for SEO and SEM managers due to the breadth of topics covered and excellent speakers talking about what's happening *RIGHT NOW*.

Christi Olson - Harry & David

If you have never been to SMX West, you NEED to attend this great conference!

Seriously, register today for SMX West... Why are you still reading this? Go, now, it's for your own good, I promise!

Blake Denman - RicketyRoo Inc

SMX West was a well–packed conference with a lot of actionable information from genuine authoritative sources (Google, Bing) for search engine marketers and in–house SEOs.

Alex Sun - Penske

Working in Search and Online Marketing for over 14 years, SMX Advanced is one of the only conferences I can attend and still walk away from with new learnings and actionable takeaways.

Chris Romero - SEM Manager, Royall Advertising

SMX East was an unbelievably enlightening conference. From the nonstop networking to the diverse courses offered, everything was accessible, professional, and went above and beyond my expectations.

This was a perfect way to for a new conference–goer to feel welcome and inspired.

Angela LaRocca - The Net Impact

This was my 3rd SMX conference but the first time at SMX East. The value of the conference is in its comprehensive array of speakers that covered the important industry topics. I returned to the office with a valuable collection of contacts, ideas, and an actionable to–do list inspired by the some of the issues discussed. I'd also like to commend Third Door Media for their excellent organization of the event and their choice of venue — the best city in the world. I look forward to attending next year's conference.

Igal Stolpner - Head of SEO at Investing.com

So much of what we do as web marketers is isolated and proprietary in nature, so it was an eye opener to visit and learn from the very best in the industry. Now that I'm back in the office, instead of what do I do?, it's what should I do first? – Thanks to everyone at SMX!

Erik Kullenberg - Reyes Brown Reilley Law Firm

SMX East was a strategically, well planned conference that provided a wealth of information from the novice to the expert SEO enthusiast. It was a refreshing experience to attend a conference and leave with innumerable tools and information that I could use when I got back to work.

LaTishia Lyles - Grifols – Biomat USA

I attended the SMX East and it was a blast from the get go. It is the best way to keep abreast of all the latest developments in our ever dynamic search engine marketing field. Moreover the best practices and direct contact with reps from leading search engines makes it all the more worthwhile to attend and glean the maximum knowledge.

Ravi Venkatesan - White Cloud Electronic Cigarettes

I absolutely loved attending SMX Social Media Marketing and can't wait to go back. Not only were the presenters top–notch, but they were all incredibly accessible. I spent several sessions picking the brains of what I thought were conference attendees like myself, only to discover that my new friends were actually speakers. I've been to a lot of internet marketing conferences and this is the best. After the show, I actually couldn't wait to for the flight home so that I could begin implementing what I had learned. Our customers are going to be thankful that I attended SMX!

Scott Childress - Internet Marketing Manager, Smile Savvy

Attending SMX Social Media Marketing was encouraging for me and gave me confidence that I am on target. Meeting and working with colleagues that are there to answer the same questions, have shared experiences and frustrations made the event a huge success. I appreciate the speakers' willingness to answer questions and provide feedback. To date, this is my favorite educational Social Media event I have attended.

Lea Buckingham Scudamore - ARI Network Services, Inc.

SMX was everything I had heard and more! After the workshop and two days of amazing seminars my brain could not hold any more information. The presenters were all top notch. No posers in this group. If you're not attending one of the SMX events you are making a huge mistake.

Darren E. Squires - Director of Digital Strategy, 2ndLAW Media

I've been doing SEO for almost seven years now, six of which were spent at an Inc. 500 SEO agency. In my time, I've worked with HUNDREDS of websites of different natures, such as lead generation, local, international, e–commerce, etc... I have had the luxury of testing out many different SEO strategies and software, and even still, I learned so much at the SMX West conference I attended.

This was truly a first time experience for the record books and I look forward to attending many more in the future.

Matt Dimock - iMarket Solutions

Experiencing 1 degree of Danny Sullivan, Bruce Clay, Matt Cutts, Marty Weintraub, and other super stars was worth the price of admission. But even more, I reshaped my understanding and expression of what SEO means in today's environment: SEO is the application of a collection of Best Practices applied to your organic search campaign that provides visitors with the most rewarding experience. It also meets the Search Engines' requirements for indexing your website and your other Digital Assets in the most effective manner.

SMX is a fantastic opportunity to stay in touch with the industry leaders and keep a pulse on the latest in search marketing. With an industry that changes so often, an event like this is crucial to the success of our business and the ability to keep our edge. This is also a great way to fast track new employees and bring them up to speed with the latest in search marketing trends, tips, and techniques. The addition of the yoga classes before the conference this year was one of my favorite parts! It brought a new level of balance and energy to the conference and enabled me to soak up and retain so much more information!

Allison Chaney - Bare Knuckle Marketing, Inc.

SMX Advanced is what a marketing conference should strive to be. Full of sessions that are led by leaders in the search marketing industry providing attendees with valuable and actionable takeaways. Then add the networking opportunities with peers, the speakers, and after hour events, make SMX Advanced a can't miss conference.

Timothy Carter - Nimlok Displays

The Search Engine Land Summit was my favorite! I learned loads about future trends and its great to stay ahead on trends. The sessions were good and I came back with a lot of new ideas to implement for our clients and our own business. The takeaways were impressive. It was worth the long trip from India.

Sangeeta Kumar - VP, GMR Web Team

SMX Advanced has consistently been the most valuable conference I attend every year.

I really enjoyed the conference. The sessions were great, the presenters were lively and knowledgeable, and I learned a lot as well as enjoyed connecting with other industry professionals. The food was good as well!

Heidi Kramer - MarketingMojo

Well organized event, nice venue and hotel. Great speakers, lots of insights, case studies, brainstorming sessions, more educational insights as opposed to sales pitches. I appreciated the fact that you have the vendors also give mini presentations from the podiums (theaters) nearest the expo in case the attendees were interested in learning more about the products⁄services offered and their features and⁄or demos. Not been before but will be back next year for sure!

Stephanie Beer - The Home Depot

This was my third year attending and each year, I leave with actionable information that benefits our company's bottom line and our client services. See you next year!

Clinton Barras - Two Oceans Digital

The exposure to such a variety of sessions gives someone new to the industry a good idea of how vast and diverse the industry is. Being up close and personal with the industry leaders is a big boost of confidence that you need to feel you are really part of the game.

Both the presenters and the attendees at SMX Social were the best in the business. The level of knowledge floating around was inspiring. The subject matter was far more in–depth than can be found in any online materials and I was surprised at how willing experts were to share their own personal techniques. I'm confident that I have a massive edge on my competition now and I can't recommend this conference enough.

Paul Zubrinich - Co-founder, Little Web Giants

The opportunity to hear how changes in search marketing are impacting the variety of stakeholders in the industry. It is too easy to get stuck in one's own perspective alone, and SMX really opens up horizons.

Liz Walsh - Microsoft

It's great to interact personally with experts in the search marketing field. Sometimes there's only so much you can gain from reading and commenting online––the face–to–face interaction is helpful to get feedback on your own projects, as well as to learn from the successes and failures other SEOs that present. It's a great place to network and to surround yourself with many creative, eager SEO professionals!

There was a great mix of excellent take–aways for both the advanced search marketer as well as beginners, which is a tough balance to strike, but the conference hit it seemingly effortlessly.

This was my first time attending the SMX West Conference and it didn't disappoint. The speakers and topics were spot on to what is going on within the search industry.

My favorite thing about SMX West is the enormous amount of information, knowledge and tools I can learn from each session.
